description In today's digital landscape, the exponential growth of information on the web has led to challenges in its organization and management. Often, resources published on the web lack proper structure or appropriate descriptions, thus making it difficult to establish connections with similar resources—a critical issue when searching for educational materials. In such searches, the need for clear, reliable, and immediately available information takes precedence. There are strategies to tackle this problem, the use of ontologies stands out as a compelling solution because they offer a well-defined, lucid, and precise structure within specific domains. Consequently, this study focuses on crafting a domain-specific ontology that furnishes the required knowledge for publishing and retrieving educational resources from the web. We follow the methodology outlined in "Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology" to design it. The outcome is a domain ontology applicable from two distinct perspectives: an academic standpoint, catering to those who seek to understand the underlying concepts, properties, and relationships involved in resource publication and retrieval; and an industrial one, serving as a support tool for companies or institutions aiming to navigate the process of publishing and retrieving resources to improve the management of their knowledge bases.

Hoy en día la información en la web crece de forma exponencial, creando inconvenientes en su organización y gestión debidos generalmente a que los recursos publicados en la web no poseen la estructura adecuada o no están descritos de forma apropiada, lo que impide su relación con otros recursos de su mismo tipo. Esto es crítico cuándo se hacen búsquedas relacionadas con recursos educativos, donde a veces prima la urgencia y sobre todo que contengan información clara y confiable para que el usuario que lanza la búsqueda pueda utilizarlos. El uso de ontologías, proporciona una estructura bien definida, clara y precisa sobre un determinado dominio. Por tanto, este estudio se centró en la definición de una ontología de dominio específico que proporcione el conocimiento requerido para publicar y recuperar recursos educativos en la web. Para su construcción se siguieron los pasos propuestos en Ontology Development 101: A Guide to Creating Your First Ontology. La ontología de dominio construida puede ser aplicada en dos perspectivas: una académica, para quienes deseen conocer los conceptos, propiedades y relaciones para la publicación y recuperación de recursos; y una industrial, para quienes desean utilizar la ontología como herramienta de apoyo que los guíe paso a paso para publicar y/o recuperar recursos y así mejorar la gestión de sus bases de conocimiento.
